The train is relaxing after such a long ride and environmentally friendly, but for those with time, the last of these options is also highly recommended. The C2C links directly to the 300km (187 mile) Reivers Route (NCN Route 10) from Tynemouth to Whitehaven and into the 280km (174 mile) Hadrian’s Wall Cycleway (NCN Route 72) from Tynemouth to Ravenglass on the west coast, passing through Workington and Whitehaven. Cyclists who have reached the end of the C2C should be fit enough to take on either of these interesting routes. The Reivers provides a more hilly challenge through remote border country, while the Hadrian’s Wall route follows the famous Roman wall and forts of the Cumbria coast.
